Introduction

This third edition of A Resource Guide for Planning and Operating Afterschool Programs

provides a description of resources to support 21st Century Community Learning Center

afterschool programs. Many of the entries will also apply to before-school, summer, and

community learning center programs. These resources meet three basic criteria: (1) they are

timely, (2) they are readily available, and (3) they are relatively inexpensive. Approximately

75% of the entries are new or have been revised since the second edition was published.

Contents of the Guide

In the earlier editions of this guide, the resources were organized into six afterschool

categories identified by the National Center for Community Education Training Task

Force for 21st Century Community Learning Centers. In this new edition, the entries are

organized alphabetically within one of two sections: (1) programming and (2) organizational

development. A list of the topics and information covered in each of the sections follows.

Programming

This section includes resources for developing an afterschool program and providing

instruction and enrichment activities. Information is provided on appropriate curriculum, youth

development, behavior management, mentoring, developmental milestones, accreditation,

parental and community involvement, and extending academic learning opportunities in the

afterschool program.

Organizational Development

This section includes resources on planning, organizing, managing, and sustaining afterschool

programs. Information is provided on leadership development, improving program outcomes,

building relationships with community partners, effective communication, program evaluation,

and data-collection procedures.

Appendixes

The following three appendixes at the back of the guide provide additional information:

? Appendix A provides relevant online resources.

? A

 ppendix B lists the resources alphabetically by title (entries beginning with A and The are

listed under the second word in the title).

? The Author Index lists alphabetically the resources by author or editor and page number.

This third edition of the A Resource Guide for Planning and Operating Afterschool Programs

is as comprehensive as time and knowledge permitted. However, in this dynamic field

of afterschool programming, new resources are frequently generated. Your assistance in

identifying additional resources for future editions of this guide is appreciated. Please contact
